Motoro Faam And Water Cycles

We have another great Motoro Faam CD on the Preco label from Japan called 'And Water Cycles'. This is pretty lush sounding stuff. Gorgeous electronics and neo classical nubbins mixed together in a sexy love pot all ready to pour into your unsuspecting ears. There's a healthy dash of Ryuichi Sakamoto in there and maybe some more. It's quite experimental and there's an awful lot going on. The sound ...

We have another great Motoro Faam CD on the Preco label from Japan called 'And Water Cycles'. This is pretty lush sounding stuff. Gorgeous electronics and neo classical nubbins mixed together in a sexy love pot all ready to pour into your unsuspecting ears. There's a healthy dash of Ryuichi Sakamoto in there and maybe some more. It's quite experimental and there's an awful lot going on. The sound is very dense and full, but together it makes a really beautiful listen, what with all the lovely classical-ness being chucked into the electronic mix. Mingus thinks it sounds a bit like Takagi Masakatsu....highly recommended anyway!

This is a fascinating album. It is so unique I can't even categorise it. Cascading modern art music with field recordings playing as important a role as 'real' instruments. Really a special experience. Not for everyone. It is quite avant garde but still listenable. What I find intriguing about so much Japanese contemporary music, is that stylistically it seems entirely disconnected from popular culture. (or at least from the shite pouring out of a handful of US studios). Motoro Faam are just out there and doing it their own way. Quite astonishing.

We're not your normal record shop...

Please note that whilst we're always happy to see you, we are not a normal record shop where you can come and browse the stacks.

There are no stacks.

Nope, instead we are basically a kind of brutalist Argos for vinyl records. So, instead of trudging all the way to sunny Holbeck in anticipation of being able to flick through shelf after shelf of releases, please place your orders online first and use our 'In-store collect' option in the checkout.
